Free truck

Someone offered me a free 91’ f150 xlt lariat. It needs a new battery, tires and probably a new pcm since the fuel pump keeps running and it’s not the fuel pump relay that is the issue. The truck has been sitting for 10 years with a half a tank of gas which has definitely gone bad. Question is it it worth it to fix it up?

What’s not to like? California truck so little to no rust, 4wd extended cab. Looks like it has an E4OD

A little investment could become a big pay off if I can get it to work.

Make sure you can actually get a title for it first though.
I would pass if seller "lost" the title and won't sign a lost title affidavit in front of a notary or DMV agent.

A day of work.

It hasn’t been used in 10 years. It’s going to need brakes and a fuel system flush, actually all fluids changed and maybe a new cat back exhaust system? The tailpipe appears to have a hole in it.
